Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metallic materials are most frequently used in structural applications. Structural, sustainability, and performance requirements outline the development of a very innovative and interesting class of materials, i.e., metal matrix composites, integrated via a versatile processing technique known as additive manufacturing.
If the indicated class of materials presents promising structural design properties, the indicated processing procedure still contains many critical aspects regarding process control.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the latest advances in experimental trends and results and numerical modeling issues for metal matrix composites processed via additive manufacturing, related both to material and components for any structural application with a special focus on aerospace in harsh and demanding operating conditions.
Contributions on the microstructural description of creep and HC and LC fatigue-related phenomena are welcome. We also encourage the submission of research articles which integrate life assessment models, FEM structural analysis, and material constitutive model calibration procedure description.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
